Blogger confusion...

I've been putzing around with blogger and trying to find others' blogs. There are links on my profile for state, city, interests, and the like. From the dashboard, I can see recent posts by others. But, that's it. People cannot just go to blogger.com or blogspot.com and search. Are there people actually trying to find others? Or, must we sign in and setup as many interests as we can just to locate other blogs of interest? Seems to be lacking a bit of user friendliness! Maybe a "locate a blogger" that lets me plop in this information. Maybe I want to see people in, say, Minnteonka, MN. No clue how to do that.
